Featuring two of Colorado's own cheerleading sweethearts, former Denver Broncos Cheerleader Renee Herlocker and current DBC, Candice Jones. Let's get to know them:

RENEE HERLOCKER

Renee feels like she's grown up as Denver Bronco's cheerleader, having first started on the squad at the age of 18. Six years later, Renee is not only the captain of the squad but believes that "being on the squad really has helped me develop as a person. As a professional cheerleader you find yourself constantly out in the community, interacting with people and the media, and doing charity work," like when the Colorado native traveled to Washington D.C. to visit injured troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. "Having all these experience has really built my confidence and sense of self." Renee has also begun modeling and has traveled to Hong Kong in 2000 to perform in the Chinese New Year parade and was selected to go to Mexico City as a NFL representative to promote the Super Bowl to NFL Mexico.



Before joining the Bronco's, Renee cheered on both her high school and college squads. Renee's family is her greatest inspiration (her mother was on the original Bronco's cheerleading squad) and she has a considerable soft spot in her heart for her three-year-old Golden Retriever, Huebert Tucker Monroe (Huey).

CANDICE JONES

When Candice Jones moved to Denver after spending six months teaching English in Thailand, she called on her considerable background in dance (including a two year stint on the National Champion Cougarettes, Brigham Young University's dance team and time spent a soloist with Brigham Young University's Theatre Ballet) to audition for the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders. "I was thrilled when I was chosen," Candice reports, "partly because I just LOVE to dance and partly because of how involved the Broncos organization is with the community." Every week, Candice and other members of the squad meet with teenagers from the Boys and Girls Club teaching them healthily lifestyle habits (like exercise and good nutrition) and dance.



Now in her second year with the Broncos and one of four co-captains for the squad, Candice also credits cheer and dance with giving her discipline and great time management skills. And she needs them, in addition to performing at games, Candice also teaches dance at a Denver studio and has a full-time job at an Arts Management company. On her down time Candice likes to go travel, go sky diving and, occasionally, cage diving with great white sharks.
